Interesting wine. The nose is quince and citrus peel, tastewise there is almond, orange peel and beeswax. The only thing holding this back from greatness is a massive 16% alcohol. Brutal aftertaste that makes this more like an after dinner schnapps! After one glass i was staggering to the kitchen to make dinner. Bit of a shame but still a good wine. — 2 years ago

This was so damn good. Perfectly developed yellow fruit and a striking acidity. — a year ago
A proud hardliner as the artwork on the front label suggests, which more often than not, has proven to be a red flag for what’s to come in the bottle. Fortunately, this was superb and the WOTN for me. Salty, fresh, and juicy. Needed some time to open up to reveal notes of pear, pineapple, candied ginger, and hints of almond meal. Dangerously drinkable. — 2 years ago
Earthy is characteristic of this Pinot. Then fruity like a typical Pinot. Really interesting Pinot from burgundy. — 2 years ago
Nice wine at its prime drinking window (for my personal taste for aged wines). Nose of autumnal forest floor and earth, minerals and crushed mature berries with lively mouth feel and texture, perhaps just a bit one dimensional in a fading finish but an excellent GL 24 value back then especially given the current $ in the 50s. — 4 years ago

This is one of the juiciest, most fruit forward Pinots I’ve had in a very long time. Ripe raspberries and cherry, subtle tannin and smooth finish. The flavor will linger on your palate, wonderful wonderful wine. — 2 months ago
